Her court document claimed this reinforced a stereotype and mocked the food choices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

In the document, she argued the comment would not have been made to a non-Aboriginal person.

Compensation, apology sought

Of course.....

'mocking' food choices is wacism.

Estragon: I can’t go on like this.
Vladimir: That’s what you think.

Rubbish - survival training is all about the ants etc.

Lay down misere...

"Aboriginal Australians have traditionally consumed various ant species, notably
Green Tree Ants and Honey Ants, as nutritious bush tucker and medicine. Green Ants, with a citrus flavor, are eaten raw, made into tea for colds, or used for sinus relief. Honey Ants are prized for their sweet, nectar-filled abdomens"

“Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.”
